An amazing little town with such an adorable lodge at the heart of it. The owner was so sweet and kind. This was our favorite stay throughout our 8 day cross country trip from VA to WA.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The property was very nice, a little dirty, we did have bugs in our room, some dead, some alive
This is a family owned lodge and they are warm, friendly, and helpful. They invite the guests in the morning for pastries and a light breakfast. The room was clean but a little rustic. The bed was very comfortable. I would highly recommend this property.
Proprietors are very Personal as are the Guest I ment while there... Guess the bottom line is when I return next year on business (Deadwood) and take few extra days, I'll be rebooking with them again.. That should say it all!!
Clean bed and hot shower. Coffee and a wonderful cinnamon roll in the morning. If you are looking for a high price chain motel this is not it. This is locally owned by someone who knows the history or Keystone and their property. She took the time to educate us on some amazing history and gave us tips for our bike ride to Yellowstone. Will stay here again for sure. Call them direct instead of using an online app. Makes things easier.
Super cute hotel on the side of the road, near stores/shops.
Easy check in, front desk called to confirm and texted room code (no need to check in upon arrival).
Parking is on the road right outside hotel.
Very nice place the lady working the lobby was a very nice person and supper helpfull would recommend staying at Battle Creek Lodge to anyone looking to have a good time in the black hills
We enjoyed our two night stay. Close to everything. Small mix up when we were told we had only. Booked one night but we showed them confirmation and receipt for two and heard nothing more. Comfy beds.
It was awesome staying so close to the main strip of Keystone but also being secluded enough for a quiet good night's rest on a very comfortable bed! Staff was so friendly and the place had character, a beautiful patio, and amazing scenery. It felt safe and clean and comfortable. I will definitely be staying here again!
Air conditioner wasn’t working. Finally called after realizing it was not going to cool down and they sent someone out immediately. Very very simple accommodations. When they say no frill they really mean no frill.
Noting beats a privately-run lodge where the owners are active in the property. Cine and Tammy made or stay memorable. And when United airlines left us stranded - accommodated use for an extra night at a better rate than Expedia. Next time - I will book with them and not Expedia - which is no longer the value it once was.
